will He forgive someone like me?

[filthyrag]

I come confessing my sins one to another like the Bible says. I don't feel comfortable speaking to people that I know so I come here spilling my guts. I am a 30 year old married man, married a bit over a year. I like my wife, I cant honestly say that I love her, but I do like her. I got married to cover up the fact that I find men attractive and many people in the town I live in questioned rather I was gay or not. I had always denied it...I live In a small town and this kinda thing isn't popular and is frowed upon. Not to mention I am a Christian and I go to church. I look at homosexual porn on occasion but had never acted on my impulses until a few months ago. I found an ad on Craigslist and I began to engage in homosexual activities. I had repented but the temptation got too much for me and Now I can't seem to stop. I have had several different partners in the past few Months.

Tonight after one of my encounters I began to feel horrible for my actions and I one again repented. I need prayer and help. I don't want to tell my wife. Please pray for me That I will be strong to withstand the desirEs.

Will God forgive me?

Yes, He will.


He has forgiven me for my many transgressions/fantasies. this is all I am going to say about that.

 

[tunnelhckrat]

The answer is Yes, God will forgive.

As someone who has been through this I can honestly say it works, but it isn't easy.

The issue is not will God forgive me every time I choose to go and sin, but my motives. If one chooses to repent of their total sin nature (as we all have), and be "born again" by the Spirit of God, then one can have the support of God to overcome sins and rise above it (see 1 Jn. 1:9-10) ---a verse for real Christians. If one is just using the Creator-God for blessings and benefits without surrendering all to Him, then that one will only have a religious work and not be a person of godly faith.

I am not judging, but just stating the fact of Christian truth. Look up always (and read John 3 and John 14). I will pray for you.

Yes, go for help. A man from our church had the same and went to a healing week. T.B. Joshua prays for viewers on youtube to be set free and Derek Prince. I'll pray for you.

Hating and loathing yourself will never help you so stop it. It doesn't matter what you are, you have to accept and forgive yourself before anyone else's forgiveness can help you.

Listen to you, your sitting here under a horrible guilt trip afraid for yourself and your family and you've been doing the best you can and it honestly makes me want to cry just reading this... you're a good person and you wouldn't be posting here trying to get rid of this if you weren't. There is no reason god would reject you.

If I came here and said all these things to you and asking for your help, would you forgive me?

Probably, and you're not jesus, what in the world ever made you think that jesus was some jerk who wasn't nearly as loving as you are?

The best thing I could do is to have a family computer...When i married my current wife 4 years ago. It helped me to set a safe boundary from all the snares on the internet.
